It is a good first step, of course the next step would be to load the trees on-demand. Oh, and the best approach to handle the "to Trie or not to Trie" question would be to be strict in what we emit (12/28 it seems, by authority of Linus), and liberal in what we accept, IMHO. That is, accept whatever partition of the SHA-1, stopping on the first we found (smaller number of slashes, or when that is equal, the smaller first prefixes). We can always discuss ways to handle merging later, I guess. Ciao, Dscho
